As a personal fan of Uniqlo, I can tell you that their t-shirts are of the best quality and their prices are more than affordable. (I even bought two of their <em>Futura</em> tees in black and white back in 2004.) At only 1,500 yen each, these amazing tees are a steal.</p>

Like nothing I have heard from a Japanese artist <a href="http://www.tigarah.net">Tigarah</a> is largely influenced by Baile Funk, UK Grime, Baltimore Club and Hip-hop. Her most notable track &#8220;Girl Fight&#8221; has really caught my attention. After majoring in political science at Tokyo&#8217;s renowned Keio University the spunky artist began writing music expressing her politcal views. After spending much time in Brazil and being inspired by the culture Tigarah released an 8 track EP, and is expected to release a full length LP this summer. Keep your eye out for this one, this Japanese cutie is breaking boundries.</p>
